Previously, we talked a little about Gov. Haslam's proposal to cut the grocery tax to save us 3 dollars per year.

Governor Haslam has also proposed to raise the “DEATH TAX” exemption, so Steve Ross called the TN Dept. of Revenue to "ask them just how many people actually pay the tax every year for the past three fiscal years."

Is .01% the same as .0001 or one in ten-thousand or one per cent of one per cent? Mixing fractions and decimals and percentages can be confusing. Is this an issue that nearly all 6.8 million of us would never ever care about? How is this "issue" a cornerstone of conservative brand loyalty?

How is this "issue" a cornerstone of conservative brand loyalty?

Conservatives who are piss poor now but confident in "trickle down economics" and "free market forces" want to plan ahead. Seriously.

To quote John Steinbeck...

“Socialism never took root in America, because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
